Except for the the milk and small amount in the egg, the cake itself has very little fat and using low-fat milk will keep the fat to a minimum, I have stated the egg as optional, I strongly suggest to add it in for a more cake-like texture -- If you are looking for a fancy cake to serve then this is not it however for the ease of this cake it is darn good and makes a great weekend brunch cake, it's like a combination of a cake and cinnamon bun all in one, ridiculously simple to make as it's all mixed by hand and takes like 5 minutes to throw together, try adding in some chopped strawberries, apples or blueberries, raisins or dried cranberries, this recipe is a blank canvas, so go ahead and add in fruit, nuts chocolate chips whatever you wish, and to kick this up a notch drizzle recipe#120835 on top :) --- servings are only estimated

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

CAKE
2 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg, beaten
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
TOPPING
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
4 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish; set aside.
  • 2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir milk and vanilla together. Add the vanilla-milk, egg and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined and moistened. Pour batter into prepared baking dish, and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • 3. In a small bowl, stir the brown sugar and butter until creamy (you can use a hand-beater if you wish, but a fork will do just fine as well). Add cinnamon, and stir until large crumbs form form. Randomly drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon topping on the surface of the batter. Shake the pan gently to distribute the topping evenly and to allow some of the cinnamon crumbles to sink a bit into the batter.
  • 4. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (Some of the topping will sink into the batter during baking, so the toothpick test might show some topping and give the impression that the cake isn't done. So try as best as you can to test the cake layer only.)

Tips:

  • Use a large mixing bowl to ensure that all of the ingredients are properly combined.
  • Be sure to cream the sugar and butter together until they are light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be sure to sift the flour before adding it to the batter. This will help to remove any lumps and ensure that the cake is light and airy.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon flop cake is a simple and delicious cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and tender crumb, sweet cinnamon flavor, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit. Whether you are serving it for breakfast, dessert, or a snack, this cake is sure to please everyone.
